If you upgrade using mini kies are you still going to get the notification for the official JI6 ota update?

Mini Kies installs the Official OTA JI6
to be honest i dont know. but based on my g1, no. because i did a manual update to get version 1.6 and i never got the notification stating that i had a new update. this makes sense because why would the system inform of an update you already have. and from what i am reading the kies mini is the official update, so you should be fine. i am waiting on the OTA just in case since the last update samsung did was not the right one from what tmobile stated is that true i dont know. but i am only going to wait till the end of today then i am going to do it manually.

I have an older version of Kies installed (1.5.3.10092_2_1, with US and US English selected at install). Didn't need it for the tethering intended, so it was unused.
Anyway, bored and on connection tonite I clicked the phone update button and the program responded that a firmware update was available.
Ideas: What would that be? I'm on the standard T-Mobile 2.1 update 1 release.
I too would like to know what this update could be

Let us know what, if anything, notable has changed.

Hello, I apologize for the dumb question, but I've been so caught up in flashing all of the new leaks/roms that I've forgotten which version I should be on in order to receive the OTA. For some reason I was thinking JI6, but can't remember for sure.
Any help is appreciated... thanks!
Odin is ur friend read guide in the sticky

I know how to flash... just couldn't remember if it was JI6. I'll assume that was the last OTA from TMo.
Yes JI6 was the last offical ota.

I'm running stock j16 with some metamorphed icons, should I do a factory reset before the ota?

Anything with a stock rom should be good. I just got a replacement phone completely stock, so I'll probably just move my sim over today so I don't have to lose my current setup.

As long as you have JI6 and Twiz running (won't work with a home replacement like LauncherPro), you'll receive the OTA with no problems. I received the last OTA while rooted with bloat removed.
Upgrade seems to come over Kies
So TMoNews has this information. http://yfrog.com/f/gy2nwxlj/ Seems like the upgrade is going to be coming over Kies.
Will it keep all my apps after update?
Can I receive ota update without a data plan?
Hi yall, so I just found out that verizon is pushing out an official froyo build ota on the 21st, tomorrow. But the thing is, My phone is already running under DL30 rom rooted and prefering not to install the new update. Not that I don't want to experience a new froyo, it's just because I'm too lazy to go back all the way to 2.1 then de-root the phone........ ehhhhhh........ Now my question is, is there a way for me to disable the automatic update? p.s.Last time when verizon pushed out an update ota, my phone would just constantly turn on and off) Thank you guys!
If you're on DL30 I doubt you'd be able to receive the ota even if you wanted to.
And, in the future, please post your questions in the Q&A section.

are there any differences between the "official" froyo and the froyo we have all been using previously (I do know it has been mes source..just wondering if its worth moving to the official upgrade).
Thanks.
Adryn has posted a debinged version of the new ed01 official release in the dev section.

Meh, from what I have tested for adryn and others the mes source stuff handles the same, at least kernel wise. The rom ec01 leak seemed to run pretty well, I'm fixing to flash ED01 and try it

Thanks for the info. I'm at a point where "if it 'ain't broke, don't fix it" so I might pass on this update.

My phone finds a software update. I'm afraid to do it because it will break root or lock the bootloader or something.
Is there any resources that shows me what all the official updates do?

you're probably seeing the market updates, not the phone.

Lmao you think I don't know the different between clicking market and clicking settings, scrolling all the way to the bottom, clicking software update, and clicking the confirm ok button?
I do not have down syndrome.
Also, I can't check for updates now because I am debloated and zip aligned so it wont find any, just tried.
My question still stands. Is there a resource that will show us what the official updates do?

AT&T will put out a update announcement with change logs. Since there isn't any official announcement, we don't know what it is until someone applied it. And if you're rooted and made some changes, I'd be very careful about accepting any OTA updates. First OTA update for Captivate bricked a lot of rooted phones (and some stock, non-rooted phone as well).
I can confirm with the OP that yes indeed this morning I hit the Check for software updates and it gave me that an update is available but servers are busy now try again.
Weird. No update available on my end. Yet.

I just checked the software update and it gave the message along the following lines
"Communication Failed:
There is an update available for your phone but the software servers are busy. The phone will try to contact the server again"
if you try again it says "Current software is up to date. You may check again in 23hrs 59mins"
I wonder if this is a small update that fixes the password lockscreen issue?

I forgot about the password lock bug. This may be the update for it.

Probably is the fix for lock screen bug. The update does not always show up for all phones. It is rolling out in batches. You can try cleanup the cache data for the update app and try again. At least, that's how we did it in the past with Captivate.

might have bricked some stock phones but never installed on my captivate after rooting it. It would get to 50% and fail. That is why I refuse to do ota updates, safer either Odin or CWM or Kies but ota I dont ever trust lol

Hello,
Will installing FOTAKill app work on Note? Does anyone know? Anyone tried it?
Looking to go back to gingerbread from ICS, and stay on it without being notified.
No, this isnt the thread about how much better is ICS.
Just go back to GB and ignore the text telling you ics is available. The update isn't ota, so there most likely won't be recurring reminders to update.
